            Bug ID: 496891
           Summary: Rename Autosave feature to Revovery Flle
    Classification: Applications
           Product: krita
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: All
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Usability
          Assignee: krita-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: takiro-...@gelbfuchs.de
  Target Milestone: ---

Basically every week a [user reports loosing their
progress}(https://krita-artists.org/t/autosave-file-disappearing/108389)
because they don't understand that the auto save does not create a proper save. 

I mentioned this on [krita-artists
already](https://krita-artists.org/t/rename-auto-save-functionality-to-recovery-file-in-ui/93769).

It happens often enough that people mistake the auto save for a legit save and
don't understand what it actually does. I believe this can be fixed by simply
renaming the *auto save* feature to *recovery save*, because that's what it
really is, that's the purpose of the file and a better name for the feature. It
is not an automatic save like other applications do it, that persists between
sessions. 

I can completely understand the user's confusion and believe a simple change in
terminology can prevent that confusion.
